Guys, thanks so much for all the help and info so far. Today I went out and bought a digital and analog angle gauge.

I’m currently trying to get my crossmember moved back since I slid the motor back as far as I could using the DD sliders. Once I get it in place and bolts in I’ll try and get it parallel.

If I find center of rail in the front and somewhere near the middle I can use plumb bob line as a refence. Then see how far off the center of the crank and tail shaft are to that reference and then make needed adjustments to have them equal correct? Ex. Front of crank is right of centere 1” then I should have tailhousing center right of center 1” as well . Does that sound right?
